Two Percent

Are you looking for the 2% that will make the difference? If you are I suggest you take a step back and look at the big picture. In my experience, my own included, the search for that final 2% can be a futile quest. Why? Because what I have done and I see many other coach’s do is fail to take care of the first 98%. If you take care of the 98%, pay attention to all the details, build great technique, stress building an adaptable athlete then magically the 2% takes care of itself. No secrets, just time and coaching and the 2% will be there.
